Best of luck to you and your family in getting better. The flu can be scary. I had type B last February. Went to bed Saturday night, woke up Monday morning in the hospital, lost all of Sunday, 107 temp, almost died, only 26 but cortisone deficiency, so when I get sick like that it's even worse... The most scarry time of my life... Anyway, my point is I understand how horrible and nasty the flu can be, so I wish you all the best, and good luck with the surgery! Also, congrats on 5 years NED, that's awesome! I saw your beautiful family on SBSK; you're all so lucky to have each other, you're a beautiful family!
